Another random quickie! When packing gear do not leave out your icebreaker underwear! (Little plug for the outfitters) But seriously it is my top gear pick for this trip.
When you think cycling across Europe you think romance. But there is a stinky underbelly and it lies beneth your bicycle shorts. The only cure for the heat and the filth is merino wool undies!
Hey, thanks goodness there are no pictures with that! Did you know that Bike Week in Toronto has now become Bike Month and the the Toronto Criterium was held yesterday downtown closing of many streets around the St Lawrence Market. Over 200 cyclists entered, check it out. There were teams from Sportchek, The Trek Store, Jet Fuel Coffee and Jordan Engineering etc etc as well as many independents. Hope you are seeing lots of Cows. We have chosen a couple of elite farms on the Isle of Mull with Heeland Coos and Black Faced Sheep. See you soon Love Mum
Sarah's influences are based in the classical style of realism with an impressionistic aesthetic. Sarah uses bold colours and strong strokes to carve out structure and form, forcing the viewer to use their imagination to complete the picture. With this style Sarah likes to challenge her audience; asking the viewer to feel, as opposed to see, the painting.
Sarah majored in drawing and painting at the Ontario College of Art and Design and she excelled at figure drawing winning the Libby Stienbeck Altwerger Award for Excellence in Figurative Studies. After study, Sarah completed a 3 month residency at the Pouch Cove Foundation in Newfoundland. Her work has been included in exhibitions all over Canada and as part of the permanent collection at the Rooms Provincial Art Gallery.
Sarah is an avid traveller, choosing to find her subjects on remote farms and fields all over the world. She currently resides in Toronto and is working with the Leyton Gallery for an upcoming exhibition.
ouch and ick and ha ha ha
